Just wanted to say that Mark, Michael and Stuart from FMI and Trevor from PWC did an excellent job engaging the classroom in discussion each day, and had a great program format for teaching. The information they brought forward was extremely useful now as I'm sure it will be throughout my career. This was only my 2nd IMPACT course that I have attended, I would like to commend IMPACT on organizing these events for Ironworkers and contractors alike, IMPACT always put on an amazing program, and does a very good job at making these events comfortable and welcoming to attend. I plan to attend more IMPACT events as the information is always very useful and IMPACT does a great job of finding the right instructors for the occasion. I would like to thank everyone at IMPACT for the work they do to set these events up and providing the opportunity to attend these courses.

Regards,

Las Vegas stadium is 44 percent complete, says Raiders rep

05/17/2019

By Richard N. Velotta - Las Vegas Review-Journal

Nearly half the money is spent and construction work on the $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat Las Vegas stadium is closing in on the halfway point, a representative of Raiders said Wednesday.

Don Webb, chief operating officer of the Las Vegas Stadium Co., a subsidiary of the Oakland Raiders, said construction work is about 44 percent completed with opening day just over 14 months away.

Webb said the company has spent between 47 and 48 percent of the total cost, which is supplemented by a $750 million public contribution generated by a 0.88 percentage-point increase in Clark County’s varied rate hotel room tax.

Eleven of the 26 canopy trusses ringing the stadium perimeter have been installed with the help of two supercranes and a small army of ironworkers responsible for the precision placement of the steel that will support the translucent stadium roof, Webb said.

The roof will be assembled on the stadium floor, then lifted into place.
